I can just see the parents on the tube seeing them going "WHAT THE ****?? Crisps are bad? **** **** ****TING ****TY ****ATION! Little Johnny give me those 7 grab bags of prawn cocktail I just bought you back!!!"

you say that in jest, most schools now won't let you give kids chocolate or crisps in their packed lunch nowadays, at my daughters school, second time you do it you get a letter from the head \O/

Maybe that's why Glasgweigans have the shortest life expectancy in the UK and one of the top rates of heart disease? Never mind eh, don't let that stop you tucking into more deep-fried mars bars ;P

hee hee im more into deep fried pizzas

best one I ever saw was for the Queen's 80th birthday earlier this year, a chip shop owner somewhere in the country had created a roast dinner in batter;

Roast beef, potatoes, yorkshire pudding, vegetables, stuffing all coated in batter and deep fried in a tennis ball sized lump. Ummm.

I eat about 5 bags of crisp a day

oops....

If you eat 1kg of food why aren't you immediately 1kg heavier?

Seen the ad too, It is quite shocking that its come to this, that people need ads like this to tell them to eat healthy.

We live in a strange world, people complain about the nanny state then moan that nobody told them that **** processed food makes you fat and smelly. It annoys me when people say things like "I haven't the time or money to cook healthy food". Who doesn't have time to boil some veg? These people must have way more exciting lives than me as I have always found time to make and eat decent food.

Anyone know how long a flight from London to Reykjavik takes? When I went to LA last year I seem to remember being in the air for around 3 hours before we flew over Iceland. Anyone got a more accurate number?

Yorath, they also moan about how expensive proper food is. Not nearly as expensive as microwaves meals and fast food...
Even if it was more expensive, how much are lives worth?

[MartyG]

Don't think it's down to time as much as convenience. If you're cooking veg, you've also got to add in the other stuff and that takes a little more effort - far more effort than bunging a ready meal in the microwave or ordering a pizza.

I have the odd ready made roast on a Sunday as preparing a proper one for myself isn't worth it - but most of my evening meals tend to be stir fries, rice or pasta. Quick and easy to cook, and lasts a couple of days - but then I actually like cooking - you should see my meat cleaver

Guys just in case anyone wants to know, i filled up at Asda Govan today and it was 84p for petrol and 89 for deisel! cheap as chips!

That's true. Many of these people who live off ready means just simply cannot be arsed to cook. It requires effort, but that effort is instantly rewarded when you tuck into what you have created.

Before any says I'm a cooking snob, I'm a **** cook, I have trouble with the most simple things, but I still enjoy it. However, eaching microwave meals makes me feel all dirty and, you know, guilty inside.

Have to say who cares about the fat problem? If fat people want to eat junk let them they are happy, the day the joy of that mars passing their lips is less fun than becoming diabetic, getting cellulitus, sores, knee replacements, ankle replacements, crap clothes, sweating from standing up, being stared at, being teased, gradually losing all self respect, being unable to sit in a seat in public without the person next to you being pissed off and giving nasty glances, being unable to talk without wheezing so even people on the phone know your fat is the day we dont have to worry about obesity. Till then leave the fatties alone! clearly they are not stupid they know eating sh!t makes them that way and they dont care. OK now i'll sit back and wait for the abuse......oh but please dont give me the its glandular thing I only eat salad, so do cows and look at the size of them, its how much you eat!
